    1. [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Terms found in registers
    2. Augusta Elmwood
    3. Greetings, listers! I have been researching my ancestors from Ottmuth/Oberwitz in the LDS microfilm (Ottmuth, Catholic church), and have found the terms <müsle> and <przerwe> associated with the towns, specifically (and mostly) with Ottmuth, i.e., Ottmuth müsle and Ottmuth przerwe. Can anyone tell me what these two terms mean? Does it indicate a ‘suburb’ of some kind? Also, do notarial records exist for that area of Prussia/Poland? If so, where can I find out more about them – where the records are housed today, dates of the registers, notaries’ names, etc. The French and Spanish have a wonderful system of notarial records and I was wondering if the Poles/Prussians/Germans also used this system. Thanks for any help you can give me! Augusta Elmwood New Orleans, LA
